needy-fasting during

Conversion
• Muslims tried to convert people to Islam but they were tolerant of other religions
• Sufis stressed personal relationships with Allah rather than rituals
• Muslims were successful in converting people by allowing them to adapt Allah to their own beliefs and telling them to get to Allah in their own way
![Page 19: The Expansive Realm of Islam and the Dar al-Islam By: Vianny Saito](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155ded55034674578b48a9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Role of Women
• Viewed as property
• A man could divorce his wife and keep her dowry
• Female infanticide
![Page 20: The Expansive Realm of Islam and the Dar al-Islam By: Vianny Saito](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155ded55034674578b48a9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Changes Brought by the Quran
• Quran gave women some rights and said them to be equal in the eyes of Allah
• Infanticide forbidden
• Women gained influence within, and sometimes outside, the home
• However Islamic society still patriarchal-women can only have one husband, men can have up to four wives
![Page 21: The Expansive Realm of Islam and the Dar al-Islam By: Vianny Saito](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155ded55034674578b48a9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Decline of Islamic Caliphates
• Caused by international problems/civil wars between Sunnis and Shi’ites
• Rebellions-mamluks establish capital at Smarra• Mongols defeat Islamic empire during crusades• Destruction of Baghdad=end of Abbasid Dynasty• Re-unification later comes in the form of the
Ottoman Turks
![Page 22: The Expansive Realm of Islam and the Dar al-Islam By: Vianny Saito](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062619/55155ded55034674578b48a9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tying it all Together
• Despite all of the Islamic Empire’s international/foreign conflicts, the Dar al-Islam stood as a unifying factor
• Dar al-Islam is continuity between all Islamic nations-ulama, qadis, and other missionaries worked to spread/promote the values of Islam, nations within it all experienced the impact of new crops, agricultural experimentation, and urban growth
• Cultural traditions, worship of Muhammad, following of the Quran, and language are also similarities between the areas within the Dar al-Islam
